A capable mid-size shop vac for garages and basements that see both sawdust and water. Horsepower figures conflict in the listing, so judge it by the tank and kit, not the motor claims.

Overview
Garage and basement owners get a corded wet and dry vacuum with a stainless tank, a drain for emptying liquids and a rear port that turns it into a blower. Four casters move it around the shop.
A full accessory kit and a drain plug cover the jobs most shops face, from sawdust to a flooded floor. The motor is described two different ways in the listing, which makes power claims hard to trust.
Who it's for
Homeowners and hobby woodworkers handling spills, sawdust and leaf debris in a garage. Apartment users who need a quiet vacuum near neighbors will find it loud.
Pros and cons
- Stainless tank resists rust
- Drain port for liquids
- Blower port for leaves
- Full nozzle and wand kit
- Horsepower figures conflict
- Loud at the listed decibel level
- Single speed only
Performance notes
Wet pickup stops automatically when the safety buoy floats up and blocks the intake, protecting the motor. For fine dust, the disposable bag in front of the cartridge filter protects it from clogging, and the wide hose limits clogs with chips.
